People often ask, why “eBridge”? Our goal is to build an educational bridge that connects children, families, and educators as a community supporting optimal development and learning for our students.

eBridge Montessori School was founded in 2005 by Jin Huang, a computer software engineer and a mother of two children. She visited local Montessori Schools when her children were young. Although she was impressed by the Montessori environment, she couldn’t choose a Montessori education for them because she works full time and the schools didn’t offer morning and after-school care. In 2003, a startup company that she was working for closed. After more research about Montessori and careful consideration, Jin decided to switch her career to education and open a Montessori school for working families.

To get the best possible Montessori training, in 2004, she signed up for a year of AMI primary training in Hartford, CT, about 80 miles away from her home. With her family’s support, she was actively looking for space, hiring teachers, purchasing materials, advertising, and getting ready for the school to open in the fall of 2005, as soon as she completed her training.

eBridge is located at 57 East Main Street, Suite 101, in Westborough. We are on route 30 near route 9 and Lyman street. We are easily accessed from Interstate 495 and the Mass Pike.

The school has ample space for the children both indoors and outside. Our classrooms are equipped with purposefully designed and aesthetically appealing materials that inspire children into exploration, engagement, and learning. We support and empower children by offering consistency and order in all our spaces and ensuring that the environment are motivating without being overstimulating. Each of our classrooms has a bathroom and two sinks.

Our large fenced outdoor playground is located quietly in the back of the building. It was recently renovated with beautiful, clean and soft artificial turf to allow children to play and have fun with the highest safety. Children enjoy the wooden climbing structure, big sandbox, bicycles, tires, etc.

Currently, eBridge community has 30 staff members, including full time, part-time and substitute teachers. We are proud to have a group of highly trained, dedicated, professional, loving, and committed administrators, teachers and assistants who love working with children and are deeply passionate about Montessori education. Our diverse staff team includes members from the US, India, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Japan, Puerto Rico, England, and China. Many of our staff have been with eBridge for more than 5 to 10 years!

Our administrators and lead teachers are mostly trained by Association Montessori International (AMI) training centers. AMI is an organization founded by Dr. Montessori to maintain the highest standards of Montessori education.

Our assistant teachers are generally experienced traditional early childhood teachers and are certified by the Department of Early Education and Care (DEEC). They are well versed in the skills and sensibilities for guiding young children in a Montessori environment. They also offer a range of talents that enrich our classrooms and our after school programming.

eBridge currently has over 130 students. Our children and families are from Westborough, Northborough, Shrewsbury, Southborough, Marlborough, and other surrounding towns. We have a very diverse group of families that reflects the community in the MetroWest area.

The Montessori philosophy is based on a high level of respect for the individual child, their experience, and the pattern of development. Our teachers are keen observers trained to discern the child’s developmental needs and match those with the appropriate experience of our curriculum.

Each classroom is multi-aged, thus children have a long-term, multi-year relationship with their teachers that supports optimal development and learning. The children’s learning is supported by the multi-age community of children on many levels. The younger students provide older children with opportunities to grow in empathy, responsibility, and leadership. The older children and their work provide role models for the younger children to aspire toward in their academic work and behavior within the classroom community.

The Montessori Curriculum covers five key learning areas, including Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language, Culture (including science, geography, music, art, history, etc.)
